This Texas lawmaker wants to fine men $100 for masturbating. Here's why.

Texas Rep. Jessica Farrar proposed a law that roughly half the population will probably not support.

On Friday, she filed a bill that would make male masturbation illegal, slapping on a $100 fine. Those convicted of pleasuring themselves would also have to read a booklet with information about the benefits of getting a vasectomy, Viagra prescription or colonoscopy. And doctors could refuse to prescribe Viagra due to religious beliefs.

Yes, it's satire. And Farrar knows it.

What I would like to see is this make people stop and think. Maybe my colleagues aren't capable of that...

Farrar said she aims to point to Texas' restrictive abortion laws. Conservative lawmakers call abortion restrictions a defense of the sanctity of life. Farrar argues jokingly that masturbation wastes semen that can be used for creating more life, so it poses a similar ethical dilemma.

The bill also takes aim at Texas' 24-hour waiting period for abortions, proposing the same restriction on vasectomies and Viagra prescriptions. It even deliberately proposes unnecessary medical examinations.

Her attempt to compare [the bill] to the abortion issue shows a lack of basic understanding of human biology.

Rep. Tony Tinderholt

Her colleagues in the state House of Representatives aren't exactly thrilled. Rep. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican, said he was "embarrassed" for Farrar.
